UW launches website for Husky Stadium renovation

The University of Washington on Wednesday launched “The Drive for Husky Stadium” campaign, which includes HuskyStadium.com, a website dedicated to the renovation of the facility.

The campaign will guide Huskies fans through the transition from the old Husky Stadium, through a season at CenturyLink Field and back into a renovated facility at Montlake.

“The Drive For Husky Stadium is about more than a construction project and more than a capital fundraising campaign,” Senior Associate Athletic Director Jen Cohen said in a news release. “It’s about Husky fans coming together during a time of change to make sure that Washington Football remains in its rightful place of prominence among the NCAA’s elite programs.”

The website provides renderings of the new stadium, plus details on new seating and suites. Prospective ticket holders can place deposits on premium seating options.

The $250 million Husky Stadium renovation is being funded completely by the athletic department through donations and 30-year bonds. The department said it has raised $42 million of its $50 million donation target.
